Publishers Weekly Review

Known to television audiences through his commercially sponsored ``Mr. Food'' food news inserts, Ginsburg (who has seen fit to trademark the phrase ``OOH, it's so GOOD!!'') has been demonstrating the art of quick cookery for more than 10 years. Only now, however, does he compile his most frequently requested recipes; this book is meant to answer such questions as ``What can I make that's gourmet looking or tasting but not gourmet difficult?'' Although the author's version of cuisine rapide affirms current food trends with recipes for the ubiquitous pesto sauce and an original, simple-to-prepare hot artichoke spread, the vast majority are steeped in anything-but-gourmet 1950s sensibilities. Many recipes rely on the sorts of ``Ugly American'' convenience foods (frozen whipped topping, instant potato flakes) that cooks have long since banished from their cupboards. Further, the microwave oven, today's most important convenience tool, is relegated, when mentioned, to defrosting frozen ingredients. To his credit, Ginsberg offers some inventive recipes suited to meat-and-potatoes tastes; the best (turkey lasagne, grilled meat loaf) call for ingredients of quality. Yet beginning cooks, the volume's obvious targets, may be befuddled by occasionally skimpy or illogical preparation methods. Author tour. (Nov.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Booklist Review

Mr. Food, the television chef syndicated on local news programs, here provides readers with more than 200 of his favorite recipes. Easy to prepare, tasty, using commonly available ingredients, these recipes meet the need for quick, healthy, appetizing dishes. Ginsburg briefly introduces each recipe and includes tips on substitutions, preparation methods, and time-saving ideas. His offerings run the gamut from easy appetizers (pepperoni dip, pizza squares, and corn relish), to poultry, meat, and vegetable dishes, and on through dessert. Recipes usually take advantage of convenience items (e.g., canned soups, frozen vegetables, and dried seasonings), with suitable ideas on how to cut salt and fat intake when using these products. Readers will be left echoing Mr. Food, exclaiming "Oooh, it's so good!" To be indexed. ~--Jill Sidoti
